For you guys that have this setup, what do you think of it, would you use another? I've used plenty of 12-13 inch rails but thinking about a 15 this time. Any pics are appreciated.

Not mine, but the daniel defense ddm4v9 has a 15" rail on it. Here are some pics.

15 inch slr rifle works solo lite rail on a 16 inch ballistic advantage barrel. I really enjoy this setup

I like mine, I run most of my rifles within an inch of the muzzle. Sbr's included.

ETA: new pics, cause PB sucks.

Is my favorite config.  Longest distance possible for irons, gets lights/etc far enough out for a good hold and unobscured light projection.  I used keymod for lighter weight, but mlok would have been just as acceptable in that regard.

These are just the 15" with the 16" bbl.

Redundancy and a little variety

Far left is longer range day/hog gun.

2nd is go-to, hogging with NODs lighter config.

3rd is day hunt gun with no NOD night option and a backup for the 2nd.

4th and 5th are just fighting rifles if I ever need them.

I had a drop-in rail for a long time.  I wanted some extra room, plus I wanted it to match my carbine:

I like the look of a 15in rail on a 16in barrel.  Top pic has 15in rail on top and 12in on botto, both barrels are 16in.  Bottom pic is 15in rail on 16in barrel.

I don't have a picture of mine right now, but it is very similar to some of the other rifles in this thread. I have a 16 inch stretch 16 barrel under a 15 in BCM KMR rail. I really like it. I use it for 3 gun. Having such a long rail makes it so I don't have to worry as much about resting the barrel on a barricade during a stage.

I'm really liking the MI mlok rail for the weight but wouldn't mind waiting for the BCM in mlok. Has anyone heard a release day for it yet?

This is a huge point.  I once threw a shot on a huge coyote from the barrel on the opening ledge.  Other than I think it looks nice, this is a very practical reason to of 15".

i have a 15" troy on a 16" barrel, and my game gun is 15" on an 18" barrel. they didn't make longer at the time. If you go light weight, you don't get to be muzzle heavy, you can mount the stuff you actually use at a good place (irons or lights) and you can brace up against stuff for improvised rests. plus there's less chance of grabbing too far and taking a hot barrel to the hand meat. which sucks.

As of right now, I have a Faxon Gunner 16 inch with a spikes upper and a lightweight 15 inch MI mlok rail. I have a spikes lower, with lpk but not assembled yet. And still need a fh and gas tube.

I just put together a 16" rifle with a 15" handguard and I like the set up. I can put my hand where it feels most comfortable for me and still have room to mount the light in front of my hand.

I like the 15" rail on a 16" a lot.

15.5" Nordic handguard on a 16" barrel



15" ALG handguard on a 16" barrel



They feel good setup that way. I have a long arm span and am about 6'3"ish, shrinking due to age though. LOL
I really prefer getting the front sight out as far as possible.
That's the biggest advantage for me, as I never reach all the way out to the very end of the handguard. Usually a few inches back from the end.

Since PB took a dump. And I have since added the mlok type 1 covers and went with a VG6 Gamma muzzle device.

Exactly.  And will anyone doubt I know how to use any of those rifles I pick up?

I think my OCD gets the better of me.  If I like one feel more than another, I go that route with both (or all) rifles.  Why, for the sake of variety, compromise what's best?

I subscribe to bbl and optic differences, maybe types of rails or light mounts.  But, many components get a match for what I like the most.

I dig the look...that's why I've been slowly building a FDE 16 inch & want 15 inch rail.
Anyone have experience with the PARALLAX TACTICAL FFSSR GEN/3 15' ?
But making multiple vendors match the same shade of FDE is frustrating!
Probably wind up Kryloning everything eventually.
Nice rifles gents!
